What is Ranked-Choice Voting?
- A trustee is elected when a quorum of 5% of the members of the district is reached, AND the candidate achieves a majority of votes cast.
- Ranked-choice voting allows for an automatic runoff election to occur in place of holding multiple rounds of voting as occurs during an in-person meeting.
- Members vote for multiple candidates, in order of preference.
- In ranked-choice voting, a member’s single ballot will continue to influence the outcome of the election even if their first-choice candidate is eliminated.
- If no candidate gets a majority of first-choice votes, then it triggers a new counting process. The candidate with the fewest number of votes is eliminated, and that candidate’s voters’ ballots are redistributed to their second-choice pick.
- Votes continue to count towards candidate selection until one candidate receives the majority of votes cast (50% plus 1).
- If at any point during a round of voting, a candidate with the majority of votes cast presents itself, that majority candidate wins immediately.
